BAND MEMBERS PROFILE
The UNusual suspects
Ngak Ng
- Lead Singer / Rhythm Guitar
Ngak has been attracting crowds with his full-toned voice and uncanny ability to cover songs in his own style, while staying true to the originals for over three years. He is also a budding songwriter and his songs have been performed by Alan Kuo and Emil Chau. He is an experienced performer at music festivals and has performed at numerous venues including Balaclava, Wala Wala, Acid Bar, Rouge, Timbre, Hard Rock Café, San Liu Bar, English Rose Café, China One and Harrys. In 2004, Ngak was listed as one of Singapores 50 Most Gorgeous People by Female magazine.
Eric Ng / HYR -Lead Guitar
 Eric (Huang Yun Ren) has worked with some of the biggest names, top producers, brightest stars and major music labels in Chinese Pop since 1999. He is a highly sought-after producer/songwriter/arranger for many A-list singers including A*Mei, Stefanie Sun and Fish Leong and is also responsible for helping to establish the careers of artists such as Ho Yeow Sun and Jaycee Chan.
Named as one of the top 38 achievers in Singapore under the age of 38 by The Straits Times, Eric is often invited to perform as a guest artist at the concerts of stars such as Emil Chau, Sandy Lam, Tanya Chua and A*Mei. He most recently performed as a guest musician at a successful Sun Ho 'comeback' concert in Taiwan.
In 2004, his hit song 'Deep', which he wrote for Tanya Chua, clinched the best melody in the Overseas Songwriter category in the Pepsi Charts Awards in China, a prestigious annual awards show. He was also named Best Young Songwriter category at the 2004 Compass Songwriters Awards.
Eric is also the director of Funkie Monkies Productions, which houses established local singers/songwriters and is currently grooming several emerging talents.
A true music lover, Eric is eager to contribute to the local English scene by constantly looking out for talented bands to promote such as The Suns and West Grand Boulevard, two highly respected local English rock bands.
Alan Zahringer
-Bass
The comic relief of the band, Alan (by far the most handsome member) has played with various bands and has had the honour of opening for internationally acclaimed rock band, Hoobastank, on the Singapore leg of their Reason tour in 2004.
Quick-witted and disarming, Alan is known for his self-depreciating jokes that usually receives mixed reactions, but always manages to endear the band to the crowd.
Of European and Peranakan parentage, he also knows a ton of useless trivial facts and is a freelance writer for various periodicals and trade publications. An experienced music performer, he has been on stage at many of the same venues as Ngak as well as some which should better remain unmentioned for the sake of the bands reputation.
Jim Lim -Keyboards and Vocals
 Like Eric, Jim is one of the busiest people in Chinese pop. Previously a well-known artiste with pop sensation, Dreamz FM, Jim has been honing his song-crafting and arranging skills for over a decade and has worked with the biggest names in the industry, contributing his songs and lending his voice to numerous stars and hit songs. He also is regularly asked to pen tunes for television serials anddocumentaries.
A first class vocalist, Jim is often relied upon to hit the high notes and nail the harmonies in the studio as well as on stage, like his most recent performance in early August, where he sang backing vocals for Wang Lee Hom in front of 50 000 people in Beijing.
The winner of many awards, Jim was most recently presented with the Best Songwriter Award in the Chinese Pop category at the 2006 Compass Songwriters Awards.
Brandon Khoo -Drums and Bad Jokes
Widely recognized as a drummer extraordinaire, Brandon is arguably one of his generations most gifted drummers in Asia and is considered to be the best heavy metal drummer in Singapore. His background in heavy metal music has allowed Brandon to remember complex arrangements, which has translated into him earning a reputation as a top-notch pop and rock drummer.
He has performed at several festivals and concerts and is most active with his cover band, The UnXpected, who perform regularly at Wala Wala, Balaclava and Muddy Murphys.
He has worked with several recording artistes including, Richie Ren, Leon Lai and Emil Chau.
Brandon's drumming skills are only surpassed by his ability to tell unbelievably corny jokes and his popularity with the ladies. Many of whom voted him the 8th Most Eligible Bachelor 2006 in Singapore's Edition of Cleo magazine.
Syed Hyder -Drums
The baby of the band, Syed performs with Timmy! at most of their local outdoor and bar gigs. A student of Brandon's, Syed has great musicality and at only 21 years of age, is one of the top young drummers in Singapore.
He is well-versed in several music genres and is currently working hard to master them. Syed is active in several bands and is regularly asked to stand in with note-worthy cover bands such as EIC and
UBlues band.
